District Magnitude

Famous quotes containing the words district and/or magnitude:

    Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.

    We quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the brim—objects press around us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the throng of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
